Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 303 The Gaze of the Dragon Lord

In the original area, nearly a hundred world lord-level members gathered in the square.

"Morxon actually lost?"

"Moxon had already created the second move of 'Ten Thousand Mountains,' yet he still lost?"

"How is this possible?"

These world lord-level members were all incredibly shocked.

Each of them was the most talented realm master among the human race, and it was precisely because of this that they understood how terrifying it was to create the second form of the "Ten Thousand Mountains" sword technique.

It should be noted that even the secret techniques created by most powerful kings are not necessarily stronger than Moxun's.

Only those peak-level King-level experts who can comprehend and create secret techniques through higher laws can be stronger than Moxun.

Even such a powerful Moxun was defeated by Yang Wu, who had only cultivated for a few hundred years.

"We lost!"

"The title of number one in the Primal Secret Realm has changed hands..."

Many members of the Primal Secret Realm Master level couldn't help but feel somewhat lost and dejected.

"Perhaps he's not just the first person to reach the Primal Secret Realm!"

Bard, the mentalist who had passed the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, stood aside and said with a wry smile, "As far as I know, three hundred years ago, Moxon fought Walker of the Giant Axe Arena and defeated him!"

"What? Moxon once defeated Walker of the Giant Axe Arena?" The expressions of the group of Primal Secret Realm Masters changed.

Since tens of thousands of years ago, when the Seven Sword Kings of the Giant Axe Arena broke through to immortality by comprehending the laws of the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, Walker has become the number one World Lord-level person in the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena.

Among the five major human forces, the Giant Axe Arena and the Virtual Universe Company are the most powerful. The core geniuses of the other three major forces, such as the Universe Mercenary Alliance, are generally weaker.

Normally, these world lord-level members would be very happy to hear that Moxon had defeated Walker.

This means that among world-master level geniuses, the Virtual Universe Company has the upper hand over the Giant Axe Arena.

However, even though a more talented person like Yang Wu has emerged in the Virtual Universe Company, they are all somewhat disappointed.

It's simply because Yang Wu's rate of progress is too unbelievable!

In just a few hundred years, he has grown into the number one world lord among the human race?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought it was a fantasy.

Even the Seven Sword Kings, who recently rose to prominence in the Giant Axe Arena, were far inferior to Yang Wu in terms of cultivation speed!

Among these realm lord-level members, the youngest has already lived for over ten thousand years.

In these short span of a few hundred thousand years, they seem to have always encountered unparalleled geniuses who could crush them!

First came Meng Suiwang of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, then the Seven Sword Kings of the Giant Axe Arena, and now the even more heaven-defying Yang Wu has appeared...

For a moment, these nearly one hundred world lord-level powerhouses, who would absolutely be considered geniuses in the entire primordial universe, were all somewhat disheartened.

This era is destined not to belong to them!

……

In the virtual universe, on a beautiful island halfway up Thunder Island.

The island was filled with hundreds of cosmic venerables from the Virtual Universe Company, but it was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Almost everyone turned their attention to the Nine Swords Venerable.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke up.

"Nine Swords, the technique Yang Wu just used must have been a self-created secret technique at the peak level, right?" a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a purple gauze robe exclaimed.

As the saying goes, "The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details!"

Those world lord-level members and ordinary immortal gods who saw Yang Wu defeat Moksun could only marvel at how heaven-defying Yang Wu's talent was.

However, these cosmic venerables could easily discern the fundamental reason why Yang Wu was able to defeat Moxon: it was precisely that powerful self-created spear technique.

"Indeed!" another powerful being with six arms chimed in, "That spear technique has probably already reached the peak level of a secret technique!"

"I never expected that Yang Wu would have created a top-tier secret technique, Nine Swords. You've been hiding it quite well!" another Universe Venerable joked.

Other cosmic venerables were also somewhat relieved that they hadn't participated in the bet between Nine Swords Venerable and Green Peak Venerable.

"Nine Swords, you've really lost out this time!" a three-eyed old man said with a laugh. "If you had accepted everyone's bets just now, you could have exchanged them for another top-tier treasure by now!"

This three-eyed old man was none other than Kandri, the "Guardian of the Chaos Monument" who had explored the secret realm with the Nine Swords Venerable. Because he was temporarily in a safe zone, he had also separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect to the virtual universe.

There were over a hundred Universe Venerables present. If the Nine Swords Venerable had just agreed to the bets of others, he would probably have gained at least a hundred Treasure Points this time.

The immense wealth of nearly a hundred treasure points is enough to be equivalent to the accumulation of a high-level cosmic being over ten million epochs.

At this moment, the Nine Swords Venerable showed no regret on his face. Instead, he stared blankly at Yang Wu on the screen, lost in thought.

Because of the groundwork laid by his previous understanding of the laws of the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, the other cosmic venerables were quite shocked when they saw Yang Wu unleash a self-created ultimate technique that seemed to be a peak secret method. However, they quickly accepted it in the end.

The one who found it hardest to accept was actually the Nine Swords Venerable!

"Yang Wu often consults me, so I know he has extremely high talent and his progress must be astonishing! His previous demonstration of the laws of the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven was incredible, but it was still somewhat plausible. But... to be able to create a peak secret technique in just a few hundred years?"

"impossible!"

"How is this possible!"

The Nine Swords Venerable was utterly shocked, hardly believing what he was seeing.

What does it mean to create your own ultimate secret technique?

If a peak-level expert at the King level can create a unique and suitable secret technique, then he can possess the ultimate combat power of a King!

Most of the peak-level King-level experts in the universe, and even some of the limit-level King-level experts, only have top-tier self-created secret techniques!

As for the cosmic venerables, most of them are able to create peak secret techniques, but these are only created after countless years of accumulation!

The Nine Swords Venerable quickly recalled the scene when he created the secret technique...

At that time, he fought against various powerful figures in reality while receiving help from the Lord of Dragons in the virtual universe. It took him 80,000 years to create the first peak secret technique.

But what about Yang Wu?

Having neither experienced life-or-death battles nor received guidance from powerful figures, all he could rely on were the secret techniques he provided for reference...

Yet, in just a few hundred years, they were able to create the ultimate secret techniques.

Who can believe this? Who dares to believe it?

Just then, the Nine Swords Venerable received an extremely important email.

After reading the email, the Nine Swords Venerable's expression changed slightly. He greeted the other Venerables and then immediately disappeared halfway up Thunder Island.

……

In the virtual universe, at the highest point of Thunder Island, lies a palace hidden within the chaotic currents of air.

call!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the palace gate. He had a body as tall as a mountain, a long dragon tail, and a pair of eyes that seemed to contain the entire universe.

Although he was just standing there calmly, the invisible domineering aura emanating from him caused the virtual space to tremble and distort.

"chaos."

A towering figure, as imposing as a mountain, stood before the palace gate and called out softly, his voice piercing through endless space and echoing deep within the palace.

"Long Xing, now that you're outside, why don't you come in?" A calm voice came from deep within the palace.

These two different voices were quite different. One was so domineering that it made the space tremble, while the other was as calm as the ocean and starry sky, without any ripples.

"I wouldn't dare trespass without your permission!" The Dragon Lord's voice was deep and powerful as he walked into the palace with a mocking tone.

The chaotic energy within the palace automatically parted, revealing a wide passageway, allowing the Dragon Lord to immediately spot the Chaos City Lord sitting on a tall throne in the distance.

"Long Xing, what brings you here this time?" the Chaos City Lord asked with a smile.

The Lord of Dragons was quite straightforward, walking directly to a throne next to the Lord of Chaos City and sitting down: "I've come here for my disciple, Yang Wu!"

"Yang Wu?" the Chaos City Lord exclaimed in surprise. "But what astonishing feat has that little fellow accomplished this time?"

"You don't know yet?" The Lord of Dragons suddenly realized, "That's right, your true form is currently in danger, so you won't care about such trivial matters."

"In the just-concluded Primordial Secret Realm Master-level Qualifying Battle, my disciple Yang Wu unleashed a self-created secret technique that was incredibly close to the peak level, securing first place in the Primordial Secret Realm Qualifying Battle!"

As the Lord of Dragons spoke, he waved his hand and tapped on a screen, which displayed the scene of Yang Wu and Moxun fighting.

While watching the video in Chaos City, the Lord of Dragons continued, "I just asked Nine Swords. Before this, he only prepared some secret techniques for Yang Wu to learn from; other than that, he didn't offer any guidance!"

"Although Yang Wu possesses a Time Palace, given his current wealth, he probably can't accelerate the process for very long!"

"Then Long Xing, why are you here...?" the Chaos City Lord asked softly.

"Yang Wu's true form is currently cultivating in Chaos City. I want you to investigate again and see how long he has been cultivating!" the Dragon Lord said solemnly.

"Alright!" The Chaos City Lord nodded seriously as well.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at the Lord of Dragons and immediately understood his thoughts.

To be able to create a peak-level secret technique after cultivating for hundreds of years without detailed guidance is something even universe masters like them find hard to believe.

……

A moment later, the expression on the Chaos City Lord's face became even more serious.

"Long Xing, I used my knowledge of a region of time and space to investigate Yang Wu. Even considering his cultivation within the Time Palace, his current age is no more than five hundred years old!"

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through the mind of the Chaos City Lord, and he quickly understood what Yang Wu's amazing comprehension represented.

A moment later, the Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "Haha, Long Xing, it seems you'll be like Darkness this time, possessing a disciple of a Universe Lord!"

The Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Dragons... these are super beings in the universe, their vision is so high.

Even the most exceptional geniuses among humans, appearing only once every tens of millions of epochs, are not to be taken seriously by them.

The reason they frequently take on apprentices is simply to cultivate strong individuals for the human race.

However, the potential that Yang Wu is currently displaying is enough to make any powerful figure in the vast universe envious.

In the eyes of the two in Chaos City, Yang Wu was certain to become the overlord of the universe in the future. With a little more training, the human race would very likely produce a new master of the universe.

"Such a genius has emerged from my Virtual Universe Company lineage; by all accounts, I should bestow upon him a treasure!"

The Lord of Chaos City chuckled and said, "But Yang Wu is your disciple, so I won't interfere. Since you, as his teacher, are personally in charge, you must ensure his safety!"

"Don't worry!" The Lord of Dragons nodded and said, "Leave it to me."

"Haha!" The Chaos City Lord suddenly laughed and said, "Last time, when that little fellow Yang Wu broke through the Primal Heavenly Mountain, I ordered it to be kept secret, but he has now stolen the show in this qualifying battle. I'm afraid the other major clans have already heard the news!"

"Hmph!" The Lord of Dragons snorted coldly, then said, "It's alright. Which super being among our human race didn't fight their way up? I believe that Yang Wu will definitely become a new pillar of our human race in the future!"

"Then you'll have to put in extra effort during this time!" the Chaos City Lord instructed.

"Okay, I'm leaving!" The Lord of Dragons stood up and then vanished into thin air.

……

This day.

Yang Wu's name once again reached the ears of all the high-ranking members of the human race, and also alarmed countless races in the universe.

In hundreds of years, he became the number one human being at the realm master level!

Although the human race's genetic level in the universe is not high, its comprehension is incredibly astonishing.

Just how extraordinary must this peerless genius among the human race be?

Now they finally know!

The significance behind this is even more terrifying to countless forces hostile to humankind.

The three most powerful races, the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race, are especially wary of humanity, having fought against each other for countless epochs.

Such talent is truly terrifying. If he is allowed to grow unchecked, a new super being will surely emerge in the human race in the future.

Therefore, we must ensure his complete downfall before he becomes too powerful.

In a hypothetical virtual world within the Zerg territory.

On a beautiful floating island surrounded by endless clouds, insect queens with butterfly-like wings and bodies that seemed to be solidified crystal yet as gentle as water were playing together.

In the center of this floating island stands a colossal palace carved from wood.

call!

A streak of light flew in from afar, revealing a Zerg Queen dressed in a transparent veil.

The gates of the tree palace opened, and the Zerg Queen stepped inside without encountering any hindrance.

"Misty Dawn pays respects to the Lord of Feathered Path," the Zerg Queen said respectfully in the main hall.

On the towering throne before her sat a stunningly beautiful being shrouded in a misty, colorful fog.

"What is it?" The voice was clear and pleasant.

"Lord of Feathered Paths, Dawn, who is infiltrating the human race, has sent word that Yang Wu of the human race has won first place in the World Lord-level qualification battle!" The Zerg Queen respectfully replied.

"It's him again!" The voice of the Lord of Yutu, sitting on the throne, was filled with boundless rage.

"Yang Wu, Yang Wu!"

"Last time, we sent a Cosmic Venerable to assassinate him, but we never expected that the cunning humans would send a Cosmic Overlord to protect him personally!"

Lord Yu Tu frowned and said, "We have no chance to kill him within human territory. He's already broken through to the Realm Lord level; the foolish higher-ups of the human race will surely subject him to a life-or-death trial!"

"Find him and kill him before he breaks through to immortality!" Lord Yu Tu shouted fiercely.

The Zerg Queen, Mist Dawn, respectfully replied, "Yes."

Meanwhile, both the mechanical race and the demon race were preparing their own assassination plans.

Even the other major powers in the universe ordered their subordinates to investigate Yang Wu's whereabouts.

Although these forces do not have the same major conflicts with the human race as the Zerg and other top races, the human race will inevitably occupy more territory in the universe once it becomes stronger.

As one side gains and the other loses, no force outside the Human Alliance desires the emergence of a new powerful being among humanity.
